Expression of herpes simplex virus type-common surface antigens in clonal cells of an HSV type 2-transformed line: effect of adriamycin.

abstract：:An extract of Candida albicans isolated from a patient with typical mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MCLS) can produce coronary arteritis in a mouse when injected intraperitoneally. An unusual feature of this arteritis is that it is granulomatous, shows no fibrinoid change and is confined to the coronary arteries. T...
